Burger and Barrel

Sometimes you just need a boys night out where there just happen to girls to admire while you dine.  And what better way to celebrate some quality time with the guys than with a standout burger and fries?  Chef  Josh Capon didn’t win best burger at the New York Wine & Food Festival for nothing.  He’s crafted a serious list of  burgers, including the “B & B Classic” topped with tomato, lettuce, American cheese, and their special sauce, and the “Bash-style” — code for Burger Bash winner — a cheeseburger topped with a caramelized onion & bacon jam, American cheese and pickles.   There’s plenty more where that came from, including a mushroom & gruyere topped burger and even a seasonal $45 White Truffle burger.   They don’t stop with burgers.  Burger & Barrel’s got an iceberg wedge with roquefort & a slab of bacon, short rib ravioli, fried chicken and even lasagna.  No matter what you end up ordering, get a carafe of wine to go with your meal, like the Brooklyn-bottled Merlot or the Douro Tinto from Portugal, and settle in for a night of burgers, barrels, & buds. (Pun intended.)
